I don’t know what the effect of setting the header is at that stage, as it’s an outgoing response element.

The input is raw text, this works for me:

```
<?php
$data = file_get_contents("php://input");

// Save a raw copy of the message in a debug directory
// this will fill up quickly so don't leave it turned on
//$pathNFile = "debug/".date('YmdHis')."-".uniqid().".txt"; 
//file_put_contents($pathNFile, $data);

$json = json_decode($data, true);

...
```
